Job 13
Asang Khongca Bible (Eastern Khumi Chin, 2019)
Berean Standard Bible
1Khenah, hae hmuennawk hae ka mik mah hnuk boeh; ka naa mah thaih moe, panoek boeh.
1“Indeed, my eyes have seen all this; my ears have heard and understood.
2Na panoek ih hmuen to, ka panoek toeng; nang pongah ka hnaem kue ai.
2What you know, I also know; I am not inferior to you.
3Toe Thacak Sithaw khaeah ka thuih moe, Sithaw hoi angaek hanah ka koeh.
3Yet I desire to speak to the Almighty and argue my case before God.
4Toe nangcae loe amsawnlok thui kami, tidoeh avang ai siboi ah ni na oh o.
4You, however, smear with lies; you are all worthless physicians.
5Lok apae ai ah na oh o duem nahaeloe, nangmacae palunghahaih ah om tih.
5If only you would remain silent; for that would be your wisdom!
6Ka thuih han ih lok to tahngai oh loe, pahni hoiah ka thuih han ih lok hae tahngai oh.
6Hear now my argument, and listen to the plea of my lips.
7Sithaw kasae na thuih o han maw? Anih to na ling o han maw?
7Will you speak wickedly on God’s behalf or speak deceitfully for Him?
8Anih mikhmai maw na khet o han? Sithaw han lok na aek pae o han maw?
8Would you show Him partiality or argue in His defense?
9Anih mah ang khet o naah hoih, tiah thui tih maw? Kami aling baktiah Sithaw to aling thai maw?
9Would it be well when He examined you? Could you deceive Him like a man?
10Tamquta hoi mikhmai na khet o nahaeloe, anih mah na thuitaek o tih.
10Surely He would rebuke you if you secretly showed partiality.
11A lensawkhaih loe nang han zitthok ai maw? Anih zit thohhaih na nuiah krah mak ai maw?
11Would His majesty not terrify you? Would the dread of Him not fall upon you?
12Nangcae panoek thaihaih loe maiphu baktiah ni oh, nangcae abuephaih ahmuen doeh long hoiah sak ih abuephaih ah ni oh.
12Your maxims are proverbs of ashes; your defenses are defenses of clay.
13Anghngai o duem ah, lok ka thuih han vop; to pacoengah kawbaktih hmuen doeh ka nuiah pha nasoe.
13Be silent, and I will speak. Then let come to me what may.
14Toe kai loe ka ngan hae kaek moe, ka hinghaih hae ban hoi ka sin han.
14Why do I put myself at risk and take my life in my own hands?
15Anih mah kai na hum cadoeh, a nuiah oephaih ka tawn vop tih; a hmaa ah zae loihhaih lok to ka thuih han vop.
15Though He slay me, I will hope in Him. I will still defend my ways to His face.
16Anih loe kai pahlonghaih ah om tih; amoek kaminawk loe a hmaa ah angzo o mak ai.
16Moreover, this will be my salvation, for no godless man can appear before Him.
17Ka lok hae palung tang hoi tahngai oh; ka thuih ih lok hae naa patueng oh.
17Listen carefully to my words; let my declaration ring in your ears.
18Khenah, vaihi kaimah kawng taphong hanah ka oh coek, ka zaehaih loih tih boeh, tiah ka panoek.
18Behold, now that I have prepared my case, I know that I will be vindicated.
19Mi mah maw kai hae zaehaih net tang tih? To tiah zaehaih na net nahaeloe, lok apae ai ah kang hngai duem moe, ka duek halat han boeh.
19Can anyone indict me? If so, I will be silent and die.
20Hmuen hnetto khue ni kang hnik; nang paek nahaeloe na hmaa hoiah kang hawk ving mak ai.
20Only grant these two things to me, so that I need not hide from You:
21Kai khae hoi na ban to azuk ving ah, na zitthohhaih hoiah na pazih hmah.
21Withdraw Your hand from me, and do not let Your terror frighten me.
22To pacoengah na kawk ah, kang pathim han; to tih ai boeh loe kai ka thuih hmaloe han, to pacoengah nang mah pathim ah.
22Then call me, and I will answer, or let me speak, and You can reply.
23Ka sakpazaehaih hoi zaehaih nazetto maw oh? Ka sakpazaehaih hoi ka zaehaih to na patuek ah.
23How many are my iniquities and sins? Reveal to me my transgression and sin.
24Tipongah mikhmai na hawk moe, na misa ah nang suek loe?
24Why do You hide Your face and consider me as Your enemy?
25Takhi mah hmuh ih thingqam to na zit maw? Kangqo thingqam to na patom han maw?
25Would You frighten a windblown leaf? Would You chase after dry chaff?
26Kakhaa parai ka zaehaih to na pakuem moe, thendoeng nathuem ah ka sak ih zaehaih atho to vaihi kai han nang tongsak boeh.
26For You record bitter accusations against me and bequeath to me the iniquities of my youth.
27Ka khok ah thlong nang thuk moe, ka caehhaih loklamnawk boih to na khet; ka cawh ih khokkong doeh na parui boih.
27You put my feet in the stocks and stand watch over all my paths; You set a limit for the soles of my feet.
28To tiah raihaih tongh kami loe, kaqong hmuen baktih, karaa mah caak ih laihaw kaprawn baktiah, thazok moe, anghmat zuep boeh.
28So man wastes away like something rotten, like a moth-eaten garment.
